Amiri Khaman

For the love of all foods Gujarati, this was a long time coming. Yes there are many more to be made and devoured, but what really appeals to me in Gujarati cuisine is the versatility and the ways the same ingredient gives rise to so many different dishes. 

Besan (gram flour) for instance is seen in a steamed steamed khaman / dhokla (which btw are two different Dishes often confused one for the other) to a rolled khandvi to a pan fried thepla to a fried delicacy in Fafda , mixed with methi in a Gota and many many more in between.

And then you have those dishes which are created from leftovers like today’s Amiri Khaman. The soft spongy dhokla is dressed up further to make this amazing snack Amiri Khaman.

Leftovers or not, I bet you would want to make fresh dhoklas like we did just to create Amiri Khaman.

So the 26- day street food festival begins with A for Amiri khaman, a.k.a Gujarati Sev Khamani.
